This week we want to talk about popular foods in the Dayton, Ohio area.

When I set out to write this article, I did research about popular foods in the area. And, just like anything else online, there are always tons of opinions. But, when I travel, I always look for new places to eat and I always want something that is recommended by locals. I believe the best way to experience a particular town is by taking recommendations—good “word of mouth” leads to good “food in mouth” or something like that.

And, in Dayton, Ohio, it looks like the locals enjoy classic, hearty foods. Things that you could make at home, but are just better when someone else goes through all the hassle. The most popular choices are everything from pizza and garlic knots, to twice-baked potato soup, to “super duper” cheesesteak, to empanadas, turkey balls, grilled cheese, and the best burgers in the state!

Are you starving yet? I know I am. And whether you’re traveling there or new to town (or even if you live there and haven’t tried a particular place), I hope this will be helpful. Plus, the best part is… you can have all of these foods and MORE delivered right to your door with BringMeThat.com.

I don’t know about you, but this is the first thing I hear almost every day when the kids get home from school. And we all know the old routine of calling for pizza delivery. Been there. Done that. But what if there was another type of delivery service. One that would take care of all the little details and we could just sit back and relax. And, better yet, we don’t even have to do the dishes?

Did I get your attention?

Well, BringMeThat.com is all of that and more. It’s basically the link to your home and thousands of restaurants local to you. Not just the big pizza chains.

And we’ve put together the Top 5 Reasons you might consider using a service just like this one.

Reason #1: TIME

It’s the one non-renewable resource in our day, right? If we only had more time. How often do we say that? Or, I just don’t have the time to cook a good meal for the family. Using a food delivery service like BringMeThat.com makes it super easy and there is virtually no time commitment on your part.

Reason #2: CONVENIENCE

In my town, there are only 3 restaurants that deliver. I don’t live in a big city with tons of options. But with BringMeThat.com the world is my oyster. I can choose from a wide variety of local eateries and I don’t even have to step foot outside my door to enjoy fine dining.

Reason #3: PLANNING

One thing I love about BringMeThat.com is that you can easily plan ahead. Even before you leave the office, you can have dinner scheduled for delivery. That way you can beat the rush and know that your evening will be filled with relaxation and good food.

Reason #4: COST

Okay, I know you’re saying, cost? What? Doesn’t it still cost money to have food delivered? Well, sure it does. But I think you’ll find that if you plan ahead and make informed choices, you’ll end up way ahead of where you would be if you shopped for all the items to make the same meal. And, if you do decide to go out to eat to a particular restaurant instead, most people tend to over-order at the table as well. BringMeThat.com is definitely a wallet-friendly option.

Reason #5: HAPPINESS

Don’t we all just want to be happy? I know that having a fabulous meal handed to me at my front door goes a long way towards making me smile. You’ll never lack the “happiness vibe” with BringMeThat.com. Smiles are encouraged.

So, give us a try. I think you’ll find all these reasons to be true, and many more.

When you’re running low on cash but high on expectation with your significant other, a simple dinner date is ideal for the sake of spending time and filling the soul. But, it’s a week before payday and you don’t really have the funds to support a night out on the town. After budgeting transportation expenses, a three-course meal plus an additional tip, you realize that going out to eat for dinner isn’t exactly within your means for this week. You can still treat your S.O. to a romantic dinner if you think more close to home.

Host a romantic, order-in dinner for your sweetheart, no cooking involved. Begin planning an hour before they arrive home and it’ll be a pleasant surprise.

First, send your S.O. a text saying you have special plans for dinner tonight so they will arrive home hungry.

Next, since you already know what their favorite cuisines are, you visit

www.bringmethat.com to order delivery for both of you from local restaurants. You pick entrees and restaurants based on what’s in your budget.

While you’re waiting on your delivery to arrive, head to your local bargain store to pick up a few candles, a bottle of wine and two decorative glasses.

Before your S.O. arrives home, set up the table with plates and glasses and light the fire to the candles so they walk into a dimly-lit dining room.

BringMeThat was recently featured in The Temple News, the student paper at Temple University in Philadelphia. Reporter Sarae Gdovin wrote about BringMeThat’s expansion into Philadelphia and about the state of the online food delivery business.

“The convenience of food delivery used to be restricted to pizza and the occasional Chinese restaurant. But now, more and more restaurants are offering delivery for their customers. Websites like GrubHub and Seamless have made it easier by providing information on delivery to restaurants in large cities. A new website, BringMeThat.com, is taking that idea and expanding out of large cities, bringing a database of food delivery nationwide.” (The Temple News)

The Food Hussy wrote a service review of BringMeThat after ordering a meal from our site. The Food Hussy has been blogging about Cincinnati restaurants and food culture for five years now. In June, she wrote a guest post for us exploring the best lesser-known restaurants in Cincinnati.

“It’s so much easier to go to one site rather than hunt and peck and wonder who delivers in my area. You might even find out about a new restaurant you didn’t even know was in your neck of the woods.” (The Food Hussy)

The Philadelphia food blog, Phoodie, wrote a tongue-in-cheek article about our Pennsylvania launch, entitled: “BringMeThat.com Now Delivers In Pennsylvania Because You’re Fat AND Lazy.” Honestly, the real reason we’ve added online food delivery in Pennsylvania is because you’re smart and beautiful.

“[BringMeThat] is offering delivery not just to the big mean cities, but the suburbs and the Alabama part of Pennsylvania as well […] Of BringMeThat’s 1999 restaurants in PA, 1480 of them are scattered about the state. As a suburban kid at heart, we can’t help but have slightly warmer cockles at the very idea of this idea.” (Phoodie)

David L. McCreary is a food writer for Cary Magazine and for his own blog, Lunchboy Says. He tried out BringMeThat’s service and wrote a review of the experience.

“Recently I had the opportunity to check out an interesting online food delivery service called BringMeThat. Let’s face it: Sometimes it’s nice when you don’t have to cook or leave home to get quality grub! Bottom line: It’s a legitimate and convenient service available to make life easier for people like you and me. Be sure to give it a try.” (Lunchboy Says)

First, a short introduction! I’m the Food Hussy, and I’ve been living in Cincinnati for nearly 10 years and blogging for 5 of those years! Through all these years, I have discovered all these little hidden gems — the places in the strip malls, off the beaten path or just places you’d never know about. And now I’m sharing them with you.

THE DINER — Frank’s Old Town Cafe

Diners are one of my favorite type of restaurants; I think I watched too many episodes of Alice as a kid. My favorite spot in the tri-state for this is most definitely Franks in downtown Covington, KY. Frank has all sorts of Buffalo Bills memorabilia around the restaurant. His wife is the main waitress, and they have daily specials like meatloaf. What more do I need to say?! My favorite is the Flying Pig — which is a breaded tenderloin (an Iowa specialty) with BBQ sauce and pickles on a bun. They also have great big crinkle fries that I pair with a side of mayo. Mmm Mmm Good! So head to Frank’s and tell him the Food Hussy sent you!

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals — there’s such a wide variety of what you can have. My husband is allergic to eggs, so a good breakfast place has to have biscuits and gravy. We came across the Bluebird Restaurant in Norwood and never looked back. They have a wonderful staff and a great selection for breakfast — but oh those B&G! It’s a thick creamy white gravy served on flaky biscuits. And don’t miss the sausage links. DELISH!

Crispy, fresh, flavorful seafood — not much can outdo that. One of my more recent discoveries is the Bayou Fish House in Newport. They serve different fish each day along with some steady options. The fish is lightly breaded and really crispy. Fish tacos are one of my favorites — which you can often find for 99 cents! Also, don’t miss out on the Bayou Bites: little pepper rings, breaded and fried with a spicy sauce!

Sometimes you just need a simple burger. One so simple it could be served on a paper plate and still have you drooling for more. Quatman Cafe in Norwood fits that bill. QC used to be a grocery store; now it’s a restaurant and bar with a simple deli. The burgers are thick, juicy and topped with a thick slice of Land o’Lakes American cheese! On the side, skinny fries of course. If I ever get hungry for a burger, my husband doesn’t even ask, he just hits the lateral and takes me to Quatman Cafe. And grab some chicken salad on your way out — you won’t be disappointed.

There’s a feast taking over the five boroughs of New York City. Now until December 15, 2015, #nycrestaurantweek is happening all across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island, and the Bronx. Local and touring NYC foodies can enjoy three course meals for either lunch or dinner, all for under $40 dollars per person at participating restaurants.
